Mother’s Day 2023: From Nargis Dutt To Sridevi, Check Out The Most Iconic And Dramatic Moms In The History Of Bollywood!
Mothers are our best guides and nobody can make us feel special like them. Mother is the epitome of love and affection and India will unofficially observe Mother’s Day throughout the country on the second Sunday of May.

It is a time to recognise the bond between mothers and children and the vast importance of “mothering” to the overall well-being of Indian society. 

With that being said, there’s no overlooking the fact that Indians love drama, and Bollywood needs no elaboration when it comes to featuring some of the most expressive and inspiring characters. Over the years, the industry has given stirring films and these characters have stayed with us beyond the big screens. 

Be it Rakhee from Karan-Arjun to Radha from Mother India, here’s a list of the top 5 dramatic moms in Bollywood who have left an indelible impression on our hearts and minds.

Nirupa Roy
Who can forget the iconic dialogue ‘Mere pas Maa hain’ from Deewar? Yes, you guessed it right, the Maa was indeed Nirupa Roy. She truly is the epitome of sacrifices mothers have to undergo, at least for their children. 

Waheeda Rehman
Interestingly, Waheeda Rehman played Amitabh Bachchan’s love interest in Adalat (1976) and his mother in Trishul (1978), as well as grandmother to Abhishek Bachchan in Delhi-6 (2009). She is known to be a darling mom and she is the quintessential mother who is ageing gracefully. 

Jaya Bachchan
How can someone forget Jaya Bachchan’s character from the much-loved family film Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham. Talking about her character, she is a mom who knows everything about her kids, from good to bad and beautiful to ugly.

Nargis Dutt
How can we not mention Nargis Dutt in this list. Her character in was a sheer inspiration in the years to come. A mother is a role model for her kids and is always their first love. The film features her teaching her kids patience, respect, and unconditional love and despite her strictness and no matter how things take a turn for the worst, she loves her children to the core. 

Sridevi
Sridevi’s character from English Vinglish is the epitome of a modern mom. The film makes us love each and every moment of her journey and there’s definitely a lot to learn from her character.
